The Feltrinelli Bookshop in Naples will be the stage for the presentation of Vincenza Alfano's new novel, "Le Sibille" (Solferino), on Thursday, March 13 at 18.00:XNUMX p.m. The event will see the author in dialogue with Mirella Armiero and Sergio Brancato, offering the public the opportunity to immerse themselves in a story of emotional complexity and inner research.
A complex bond
“La Sibille” is a work that explores the dynamic between Costanza, a writer concerned about her artistic legacy, and her daughter Emma, who aspires to a less turbulent life. A dramatic event and a subsequent message asking for forgiveness push Emma to discover “Una donna” by Sibilla Aleramo. This book proves crucial to a deeper understanding of her mother’s past and the affinities with Aleramo’s own life, guiding Emma on a journey of reconciliation.
The author's journey
Vincenza Alfano combines a career as a writer with that of a journalist and teacher of Italian and Latin. She regularly contributes to the cultural section of Corriere del Mezzogiorno, promoting events and literature. Founder of Officina delle Parole, she is also an editorial consultant, and her previous book, “Perché ti ho perde,” was made into a television film. With “Le Sibille,” Alfano continues to weave together personal experiences and collective memory in a narrative approach that explores universal themes.
